ActivExpressions

1. Purposes/ How we Use

• Formative assessments
• Surveys
• Practice
• Self-paced activities
• Multiple choice, true/ false, text information

2. Desktop vs. Hand-held versions

Desktop Version	Hand Helds
Each class period need to register with the hub No internet = no hub No batteries, run through the mini laptops Can copy & paste special characters Self-paced activities are supposed to be available with next update	One time registration Batteries seem to run out all at once Novelty ~ Students' perception of texting Cannot make accent marks with current version Self-paced activities available

3. Best Practice
When using either type of ActivExpressions in the classroom, the activities with a single correct answer work best. That makes it easier to identify mistakes and re-teach.
